Until you are prepared to attack the weighted voting system that your
beloved European Union uses with the same ferocity, I suggest you dispense
with the self-righteous indignation.   In Europe, many offices are selected
by the European Parliament - which is a weighted vote constituency.   In
America, we have a special Parliament for the selection of President called
the Electoral College, which is also a weighted vote constituency.
